Why are goons so dedicated to their employer's cause?

[En Sabah Nur]

I'm watching The Old Guard thinking about this, but it goes on in most action films
You see your squad getting destroyed one after another, yet you going to go kamikaze to stop the hero and protect your boss's insane dream? What they trying to do, win henchman of the month?

How I felt when Isaac from Castlevania came off a boat with a squad of demons that he used to massacre towns and dudes still wanted smoke.

Ain't no pay in the world that I'll agree to go against some shyt like that. Breh, I'm gone.

they usually have nothing else going for them
when they're getting their ass kicked they make it personal and also feel like if they're the one to defeat the hero they'll get a big payday

Money. nikkas out here joining the US armed forces and fighting wars so they can cop the new Charger

If I was a goon in Gotham city I'd split once the ass kicking starts, ain't no payday worth recieving the type of pain batman dishes out nightly.

Sometimes the villain is just as if not more gully as the so-called hero, and if you defect, that's your ass

shyt, in most movies, the nikka who gets away and reports back to the villain gets killed just for surviving

Also, villain squads are essentially mini-armies and operate as such, so trying to skip out is a capital offense if you get caught

Furthermore, most villains have screening processes and do psychological reviews on their employees in most cases, to where they wouldn't get caught lacking by hiring a "I don't give a fukk about none of this shyt" -ass nikka like OP

The putty patrol got that work left and right but stayed dedicated

 

[OmegaK2099]

The foot clan are brainwashed into believing they are all family and see shredder as a father figure. Almost like a cult.

Bane and his men are the same way, his soldiers would die for his cause.

Money and/or ideological cause

Henchmen working for the rich dudes probably get great benefits, like 10% 401k matches and full dental coverage and other good sh1t
